The Visitor

by
RTK in NWO

I first heard UFO in 1977 ,as a very impressionable teenager."Lights Out" was the first Album .Shortly thereafter I got "No Heavy Petting" and the first one with Micheal Schenker on Guitar.Shortly after came"Obsession".I quickly realized that I liked every song.Phil Mogg(Vocals) has a way of crafting likeable songs regardless of who he's working with.On this Album you can really hear the blues influence.They make this work really well thru-out the whole set-list( I've got the Limited Edition Digipak which has "Dancing with St.Peter"),still making the tunes rock like they mean it.While this may not be my favorite UFO album since 2000( I also have "You are Here" and "The Monkey Puzzle") it gets better with every Listen.
